  Claypole F.C. came 2nd in the tournament (narrowly loosing to a ‘golden goal’ in the final 1-0).  A fantastic performance throughout the afternoon - very proud of the team spirit, performance and behaviour.  Well done team for representing our school well. Thank you to our parents and grandparents who stood with us for the afternoon - supporting, cheering and encouraging the team throughout the tournament.

  

• Children in Need (reminder)

  Wed 15 Nov 2017
  To support Children in Need on Friday 17th November, we are inviting children to come to school in non-uniform (or alternatively dress up in ‘something beginning with P’) in return for £1 or any small change you are willing to donate. Thank you.

• Snapchat

  Mon 13 Nov 2017

  'Snapchat' has introduced a ‘tracker’ in the latest update of the app where you can view the EXACT location of your friends if you pinch the screen inwards while in selfie mode. It shows the area, town, street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house on the street layout.  Although legally the minimum age is 13, we are aware that there are a number of children who use 'Snapchat'. If your child uses the app, please check that their location is set to 'ghost mode', that way no-one can see where they are.   Snapchat is one the most popular messaging apps that children use but new apps are popping up all the time – it’s important for children to develop critical thinking skills to help them stay safe in media and all aspects of their lives.

• Girls Football

  Fri 10 Nov 2017

  Our Girls Football Team took part in the annual Girls Football Tournament with 15 other school teams. The girls won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 and narrowly missed out on a place in the semi-finals by 1 goal difference! Great team performance; we hope the girls continue to play and enjoy their football.
